‘Storage batteries shall be of such design and be so installed that:
(a) Safe cell temperatures and pressures are maintained during any probable charging or discharging condition. No uncontrolled increase in cell temperature shall result when the storage battery is recharged (after previous complete discharge) at maximum regulated voltage, during a flight of maximum duration, under the most adverse cooling condition likely to occur in service. Tests to demonstrate compliance with this regulation shall not be required if satisfactory operating experience with similar batteries and installations has shown that maintaining safe cell temperatures and pressures presents no problem.
(b) Explosive or toxic gases emitted by the storage battery in normal opera~ tion, or as the result of any probable malfunction in the charging system or battery installation, shall not accumulate in hazardous quantities within the airplane.
(c) Corrosive fluids or gases which may be emitted or spilled from the storage battery shall not damage. surrounding airplane structure or adjacent es- ‘sential equipment. § 3.696 [Amendment] 18.
